Learning to Troll

Yesterday was a great day of fishing! The seas were pretty rough, but it was still so fun!

Caught this False Albacore trolling near Jackspot! He was quite the fighter! 

I looked a little funny walking into the Yacht Club with blood all over my shorts, when we stopped for a celebratory Orange Crush!  

We caught 14 mahi, not too big and only one bull, but we are learning! Looks like we are eating Mahi for a few weeks. 

We use 3 different rods when trolling with 3 different color lures. We set one further away, in the middle, and close to the boat. We have caught two false albacore with this method with this same pink lure:
